“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart… and if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.” ― Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City 

What Mistakes Have You Made?

Think about the daring moments in your life. Think about how they changed your life forever. In my own life, serendipity like events have transformed my life in unexpected ways.

I have heard friends tell me how they met the love of their lives in the most random ways. Other times, I heard about how situations dropped into their lives that appeared to be mistakes, but actually turned out to be the best thing ever.

Veer Off Course – Stop Planning!

Stop sticking to your plan. Allow things to unfold the way they are meant to. Not too into that guy who keeps serenading you? Well, give him a chance. Maybe you won’t like him and decide to part ways. Or…maybe you will fall in love.

Got laid off? Always wanted to establish your own business? Maybe it’s not the greatest circumstances, but give it a shot. Life keeps showing us the way. Our mistakes are what shape our fate.
